BPB racers had a wildly successful cyclocross season this, which concluded the past couple of weekends with both the MABRA, MAC and VA championships.

In the Masters Elite category, Blair Saunders finished out the year in fine season with wins in both the MABRA and MAC finales.  This gave Blair 3rd place in both the 35+ and 45+ categories despite missing three races in the series.  Despite dealing with illness for most of the season, Mike Birner finished 12th in the MABRA series for the year.

 In the Masters B category, BPB riders Neil Sapp and Scott Stahl finished 2nd and 3rd respectively in both the 35+ and 45+ groups, with just four points separating them in them in the latter.

In the Cat 4 ranks, Mark Stahl took his first podium finish with a 5th at the MABRA championships.  Barry Hindman carried the BPB flag in the Virgina Cyclocross series with three top-10s including a 4th in the finale and 11th overall in the series.

 With cyclocross season at its end, BPB racers will begin their winter recovery and training and look forward to the 2010 road, mountain and cyclocross seasons.  Check back here for more details!

This past weekend was a great success for BPB racers.  Saturday's Schooley Mill Cross was wet and muddy although the weather for the day was nearly perfect for a cyclocross race.  Blair Saunders put in a move on the last lap of the Elite Masters race and held off the chasers to pick up the win.

Sunday's Rockburn Cross saw a BPB 1-2 finish in the Masters B race with Neil Sapp bringing home the win and Scott Stahl in 2nd.  In the Elite Masters race Blair Saunders captured 2nd place (1st in 45+) and Mike Birner finished 7th.

BPB supported riders competed at two cyclocross venues over the weekend racking up five top 10s and three podium spots including a win.

Mike Birner took his BMC to Iron Cross Lite in Carlisle, PA Saturday and brought back a 3rd place podium finish in the Masters 1/2/3 race.  Apparently unsatisfied with this he went to the first annual Hyattsville Cross on Sunday and took his frustration out on the Masters 1/2/3 race while bring home the win.

Also at Hyattsville, Scott Stahl took the 5th and final podium spot in the Masters 3/4 race followed immediately by Neal Sapp in 6th.  In the Cat 4 race, Mark Stahl fought his way to an 8th place finish in a field of 70 riders.

Mike's win this week means an additional 10% off purchases through Saturday, October 17th.

This past weekend Blair Saunder powered his BPB built Ridley to another victory at Kelly Acres Cross, winning his age group and the 1/2/3 Masters 35+/45+ race, while Mike Birner (BMC) placed 12th.  In the 3/4 Masters 35+/45+ race Neal Sapp (Ridley) placed first in his age group (8th overall) with Scott Stahl (Time) in 4th (13th overall).  In the Men's Cat 4 race, Mark Stahl placed 9th.
